“Historical Shinjuku Golden-Gai Bar alley, Bar arak is popular in both Japanese and foreign tourists. The owner is a friend of mine, so we offer a glass of cocktail/beer for free to our guests! * Please be sure to let us know before you visit this bar ;)”

“The best bar around the town. Charge: 300yen/person, Drink:600yen~, Karaoke: FREE. Open from 6pm to 3am. The master, Billy is really friendly, outgoing and talkative though not an English speaker. I'm sure you will have a good time here. ”

“Vintage cocktail bar. In a tiny multi-story building with several other bars Protip: Let the bartender at Ben’s know you want a table (there’s usually a wait), then hit up the other bars while you wait. ”

“This restaurant is in a basement in Shinjuku, and even though it’s located on a busy street, it’s not particularly obvious and so it feels very hidden. They have a nice selection of creative books, some about contemporary photography, along with a large selection of magazines. They are also a restaurant, and sell burgers and various drinks. On some days, they have live music from bands or DJs. Check online to find out when.”
